Poetry: Pretending

Naked
they laughed
mocking
her honest garb
pretending
they cared

Dour
they frowned
ridiculing
her good nature
pretending

Ruthless

exploiting
her generous spirit
pretending
they cared

Shocked
they watched
fearing
her blazing truth
pretending?
not her

    by Carol Gioia

    Out on a limb,
    filled with regret,
    balancing my act
    With no safety net.

    Hovering on the edge
    of uncertainty.

    Your life
    A whirlwind
    I hate.
    Its hard not to
    Despise you too.

    Or devious controller,
    Of your life,
    And
